Google closed at $1159.96 yesterday and is currently trading in pre market at around $1166, if it holds that price into the open in 20 minutes and the $1175 long call option opens below yesterdays close of $1.30 I will buy the long $1175 call option for today's expiry

It opened higher so I have long the $1180 call option for 10c or $10 per contract, risk is small.

I got out at 30c or $30 per contract, movement in the 1V is what moved this option not the underly price. Tripled the option

looking to next week, CSCO earnings out 2/12. I made good money strangling CSCO last qtr. Looks like ER's shake out a $2 move or better. Currently trading ~$22.50, a 2/22 $24c/$21p cost me $0.24 each side, $0.48 net debit.

Hey brokerr,

Unfortunately I didn't get filled at the price I wanted. Yup, they jumped but haven't touched 85 or 80. Oh well, another opportunity missed but others are out there...did you enter the trade?

CTL has ER 2/12. has been beat down from $42 to $28 this year. No weeklies. Trades today @ $28.7x-28.3x. $2+ moves on previous ER's. Options are cheap, 2/22 $30c $0.25, $31c $0.10; $27p $0.25, $26p $0.15.

...bought 2/22 $31c @ $0.08, trying to get in 2/22 $27p for <$0.20 .... trying to get filled on the puts at $0.15, not happening...

Cecil Gee has got cojones. I am tempted to fade some of the heavy movers of the week in unidirectional scalps, but too chicken...

eyeing NFLX, been selling puts all week against crippled $377.50 long puts I hold - a cash cow. I too scared to short it though.

Yes. I think this up move will follow through into next week. NFP disappoints but no big deal, a long stretch until the next FOMC (they don't meet in Feb). Heavy balance of earnings out. We might get dow retracing > 16,000 within the next 2 weeks or so. Emerging markets?

So I am eyeing bullish spreads on the index etf's. Banish the thought of exogenous events, explosions at Sochi, etc....
